Welcome to Cooper's blog! Cooper is an extraordinary little boy who entered this world at 31 weeks in November 2009. It has been our daily joy to watch him grow every day. He has Autism, Apraxia, Sensory Processing Disorder, and Hypotonia but doesn't let any of that stop him from being SUPER COOPER!!

30 month wellness check

Coop has the worst doctor phobia so I just dread going to his Ped for any reason. I mean his phobia is well grounded if you consider that he's been through 2 MRIs, a CT scan, several chest x-rays, countless blood draws for genetic testing and a week in the hospital (3 of these in ICU) last winter and you have a kid that freaks out just getting his head measured...

So, my 2.5 year old weighs 28.9 lbs and is 36 inches tall! I kinda laugh at the developmental questions that they ask because of his Hypotonia and Apraxia. I know he's delayed and I know why. He's seen by 3 different professionals EVERY week so I just went through the motions of it all. I do need to take him to the dentist because he's never been...yeah, I'm going to need a Xanax that day because that appointment is going to suck, lol...

I took him to the park and then a slice of pizza for lunch afterwards. His bad morning at the Ped office was all but forgotten :)
